Mantic Games Newsletter

Some 'The Walking Dead Miniatures Game' news from Mantic Games...amongst some other things...

Lights, Camera, AAAAAAARGH WALKERS!

Here at Mantic HQ, we’ve been playing The Walking Dead: All Out War for months. Whether it was play testing with the initial rules, showcasing the game during demos or playing with our own sets that we snapped up from the Kickstarter. However, no matter which version we’ve been playing, they’ve all shared some elements in common: plenty of action, dynamic moments of madness with Walkers ganging up on the Survivors, tactical decisions and, of course, lots of fun.

So, now that Kickstarter backers have started to receive their copies, we want to see your action-packed games too! Today, we’re launching a competition to show us your favourite play throughs of The Walking Dead: All Out War. We want to see those incredible moments when Rick manages to take down three Walkers at once, Carl survives a headshot thanks to his lucky hat or Sandra sneaks over a barricade to grab some equipment to win the game in the final turn.

We want you to film your games and then share them with us on Facebook or Twitter. On Friday, November 25th we’ll announce our favourite and the creator of the video will win: Morgan booster, Rick on a Horse booster and the Prelude to Woodbury expansion. What are you waiting for? Get filming! Oh, and don’t worry if you’re not a Kickstarter backer, we’ll hold a similar competition next month for those who buy the game at retail.

The Walking Dead at the Mantic Open Day

We’ll be going Walking Dead mad during the Mantic Open Day later this month. We’ll be holding special demos of the core game and there will even be some poor souls dressed as Walkers!

Rick on Horse and Walker

What’s more, we’ll have the full retail range of The Walking Dead available on the day, including:

Kickstarters

Should you ever choose to pledge to a Kickstarter based on seeing it here then it would be nice if you could let the company know where the inspiration came from...who knows...they might be grateful to the poor unappreciated blogger who sent you their way...if however I've put you off a product...well...you can keep that info to yourself...
